DMX and Swizz Beatz have crafted countless creations over the years. Their collaborative relationship stretches back to the early Ruff Ryders days. With X out of prison, it looks like the dynamic duo is working on their next venture.
On Tuesday evening (March 5), X shared a photo of Swizz and himself on Instagram, showing both of them posted up at the studio rocking a similar pose.
Swizz was one of the first to provide an update on the historically troubled MC’s mental state post-prison.
“I just got off the phone with my brother DMX!” he wrote on Instagram late last month. “He told me this time he didn’t work out his body in jail he said he worked out his mind! He also said he’s about to make music for the people that need his truth and pain!”
Swizz and X famously united for the “Ruff Ryders’ Anthem” in 1998 as well as a decent chunk of Flesh Of My Flesh, Blood Of My Blood.
In 2003, they teamed up for “Get It On The Floor” and “A Yo’ Kato,” which were both taken from X’s fifth studio album Grand Champ.
They also posse’d up on two tracks from X’s Year Of The Dog … Again album in 2006: “We In Here” and “Come Thru (Move).”
X was released from prison in January after serving roughly one year for tax evasion.
I wonder how long it takes before X gives in and puts his godamm lips on that glass dick again. It’ll be the death of him if he’s not careful.
I’m rooting for him i think he going to do good this time , let’s lift him up and be so negative
We always root for him, but like fans of a bad team, you also know the odds…
mmm dat glass dick thou
Fuckin hyped we need that dark grimy shit
It’s all up to him. Other than that, bring a album we can feel man. I can’t tell a grown man that he’s an addict. he has to figure that shit out himself. It took me time to admit.
No matter the drug. Alcohol was taking my ass slowly, but I tried like hell to be a normal drinker. You gotta get to a point within yourself that you know you’re an addict. Nobody can “root” for you.
Best of luck to X. Hope they finally come through with an album.
Dame Grease made that 1st album classic
I’ll believe it when I hear it. They been teasing things for years.
Need Dame Grease to produce some of his new shit.
Hip Hop really needs this right now. You got Migos telling the old school cats to kiss their feet, get the fuck out of here. The people have been waiting for you. A absolute true lyricist. Welcome back X!!!!!!!
Its late for that.
didn’t Swizz tweet something years ago along the lines of “me and X got fire coming’? Then didn’t X go back to jail a few times since then? what they DID was timeless but that time has passed. no need to keep lying to the public
DMX IS. COMING!! Fuck these homo rappers of today,fucking making songs about spaghetti and fuck shit,I hope X destroys all these industry homos been waiting for the legend to return
